§ MR. W. J. CORBET (Wicklow, E.)asked the Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, If he will inquire into the cause of the delay in fixing the rents of four tenants of Park Ashford, County Wicklow; whether it is true, that on hearing the landlord's appeal from the decision of the Sub-Commissioners, the Chief Commissioner stated that a Court Valuer would be sent to 257 value the land, which has not been done; and, when the tenants may expect to have their rents decided on?
§ THE PARLIAMENTARY UNDER SECRETARY (Colonel KING-HARMAN) (Kent, Isle of Thanet)(who replied) said: The Land Commissioners assume that this Question has reference to four cases on the estate of Mr. Gunn Cuninghame, whose appeal against the decision of the Sub-Commission was heard by them in January last, and referred to two Court Valuers to report upon. The Report of the Valuers has been delayed, in consequence of the holdings being covered with snow on two several occasions when they proceeded to inspect. The Commissioners hope to be able to give their decision in these cases within the course of a few weeks.
